I hear stories all the time of how difficult the process can be in buying a home, and so I while I was ready to take this step, I was nervous as to how stressful/complicated the process might be. Boy, was I wrong!!! From start to finish, Abby was AMAZING. She walked me through each step, from meeting with me and thoroughly explaining the entire buying process to getting me connected to all the listing out there (even ones that hadn't hit the market yet), to finding a mortgage company that would work best for me, to assisting with the home inspection and just so much more. She was always there to answer whatever questions I had. Even when I started getting nervous as I was outbid on the first two homes I was interested in, Abby reassured me that everything would be okay. She went back to the drawing board, restrategized, and in doing so found the perfect home (which I loved even more than the first two!). Furthermore, Abby's negotiations were impeccable! I was able to purchase below asking with the Seller paying closing costs and fixing a few items within the home. I just couldn’t have had a better experience. Thanks Abby!!!

Nothing but the highest respect and regard for Abby Jacobs at Lamacchia. No pressure ever, there every step of the way even through some hiccups on the way to closing. Just can’t say enough great things about my experiences with Abby and considering she’s the third realtor I worked with, I know I’m not the easiest client to work with. I had many questions and she answered every one. I don’t hesitate to recommend Abby and if I had to do it all over again I wouldn’t hesitate to call upon Abby for her services again. Thanks for everything Abby.

Abby was great! We will definitely recommend her to anyone who might ask. She is very knowledgeable and has a calm, relaxed but confident approach to the home buying process. Nothing caught her by surprise. We couldn’t have asked for a better agent.

Was a Saturday morning when we met first Abby Jacobs,who would become our agent helping us along the process of purchasing our new home.
A month later we signed the purchase and sale agreement.
She ‘s advised and actively helped with every small step we took along process.
She showed patience knowledge ,connections with all components of the process. Although we realized how frustrating and difficult the process could be we didn’t feel it thanks to her!
We really recommend Abby and LaMacchia (at least for having such a beautiful,good,emphatic agent on board).
We thank you Abby and LaMacchia realty!

Abby helped us get our home–she was thoughtful, caring, honest, and never pushy. I really appreciated how quickly she responded to phone calls and emails and how willing she was to find out information when new questions or issue arose during the complicated buying process. I felt like she was an ally in the buying process. She has continued to be helpful and responsive in follow-up conversations about our homes value and potential home additions.

It’s not easy finding a reasonably priced place to rent near the city of Boston these days. What makes it harder is that often times you find yourself dealing with less than stellar landlords and realty agents. When we met Abby, she assured us that she’d be looking out for us. She delivered and then some, finding us the perfect place in our ideal location and for a price that fit into our budget. I know it couldn’t have been easy because I’d been looking for the past year to no avail. When we found ourselves unfortunately moving out of our apartment, I contacted Abby again who was more than happy to come back to help our landlord find a replacement tenant. Abby is professional, personable, and most importantly honest. If you’re working with her, you’re in very good hands!

Abby is responsive quickly. She is patient to answer my questions. Importantly, I think she is kind to help people sincerely, not just for her business.

Lamacchia Realty has great brokers and one in particular, Abby Jacobs, listened to what I needed and wanted in a home! Abby showed me what I could afford and was very knowledgeable about the condos and neighborhoods that we visited. Abby addressed issues before I had to even ask and didn’t try to influence my choices at all.

Anthony and his team do an excellent job. I’ve worked closely with agent Abby Jacobs for years and she is an absolute pleasure to do business with. She’s extremely professional and takes pride in her job. I would strongly suggest using her and this company for all your real estate needs.

Abby Jacobs was a pleasure to work with and she is the best agent I have ever worked with. Very professional, understood our needs quickly and provided a great selection of homes to match our needs. On top of everything a very good person.

After buying our first multi-famiy home in 2009 from Lamacchia Reality, my husband and I knew immediately we would use Anthony and his team for all future purchases. Last month (May 2016) we had the pleasure of working with Abby Jacobs who found us a tenant for one of the units in our home. We never thought to reach out to Lamacchia Reality to find tenants before and we’re sorry we didn’t. The ease of working with Abby was perfect. My husband runs his own business and I am a working Mom. There is very little time in the day for many things let alone finding a tenant while turning over the unit from the previous renter. I am sorry we didn’t reach out to Lamacchia Reality sooner to help us! Abby was very professional and super friendly and personable to work with. She kept in contact with us throughout the entire process and she respectfully listened to all of our requests. I honestly cannot say enough nice things about Lamacchia Reality. We highly recommend them to everyone that is looking to buy, sell or rent a home. We are looking forward to using them in the spring when we buy our single family!

It was an absolute pleasure working with Abigail Jacobs in finding my family a rental unit in Watertown, Ma. I first contacted Abigail on Zillow and in less than 2 minutes (unlike other agents that I had worked with) she responded to my request for more information and booked a viewing for me on the same day. She took me through the application process with patience. Abigail is very responsive, attentive, efficient, patient, professional, but more than that, she is really a wonderful, kind person. I would recommend Abigail to anyone looking for property to rent, sell or buy. I will certainly wish to work with Abigail again.

Abby Jacobs did a great job finding me new tenants for an apartment in Waltham. Very patient with all our requirements and most efficient organizing things. Thanks Abby!

Abby Jacobs, of the Realty Company, was absolutely incredible. She was extremely helpful in helping us find the property we were looking for at the right price in our budget. Moving is a truly difficult process but when you have a knowledgeable, trustworthy, and caring person guiding you through the process, it makes things so much easier. As we had an infant on the way, you could tell she was very concerned about lead being in the property and ensuring we did not stray into any properties that were not a fit for us. While I could go on and on about our experience with her, I feel confident recommending her to anyone who is buying/selling/renting/ or doing anything with real estate.

We worked with Abby Jacobs, Lamacchia Realty, when we were looking for a tenant for our 2 family where we live and were very happy with her professionalism and follow through. She really helped us during our search for a suitable tenant. We are very happy with the tenant that she found for us.

I am very happy to have people like you helping us to find a place to live. I particularly receive help from Abigail Jacobs. She was amazing, and help me to find the perfect place to stay while I am studying in the states. I am from another country and my needs were very difficult in terms of budget, quite place, security, but she got it, and of course found the perfect place for me.
